Ingredients
-
1 c. potato water
1 c. hot milk
2 yeast cakes
1 c. flour
2 eggs or 4 yolks
6 c. flour
1 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. salt
1/2 c. melted butter
Preparation
-
Heat milk to boiling point. Add to cold potato water. Crush 2 yeast cakes into this liquid. Add 1 cup flour; beat until smooth and let rise 1/2 hour. Add remaining flour, sugar, salt and butter; knead very thoroughly until dough forms soft ball. Cover and let rise until double its bulk, about 2 hours. Roll out on floured board until dough is 1-inch thick. Cut into 2-inch squares. Fill squares with fruit filling (prunes, dates, apricots or cottage cheese). Pinch corners of squares together, being certain fruit is completely enclosed in square. Place in buttered pans and let rise 1 hour. Brush tops with melted butter and bake in moderate oven at 350\u00b0 for 45 minutes or until nice and brown.
